Girls' top 10 basketball rankings

1. Wallkill (7-0): The Panthers are in the middle of a 17-day layoff and won't play again until Jan. 4 against Saugerties.

2. Monroe-Woodbury (5-0): The Crusaders took control in OCIAA Division I by beating Kingston by 36 points last week.

3. Coleman Catholic (4-0): Coleman Catholic has one of the best frontcourts in the area, with center Lauren Melville and twin sisters Nicole and Emily Curley, who are combining for 25.6 rebounds per game.

4. Cornwall (2-2): The Dragons lost non-league games to Beacon and Minisink Valley to open the season but have bounced back with wins over Port Jervis and Goshen.

5. Marlboro (4-1): The only blemish for the Dukes this season was a 13-point loss to Coleman Catholic. Their four wins were impressive.

6. Newburgh Free Academy (3-3): The Goldbacks will get a bit of a rest before a brutal stretch of schedule in late January.

7. Kingston (4-2): The big loss to Monroe-Woodbury drops the Tigers a few spots, but expect Kingston to be in the thick of things at the end of the season.

8. Valley Central (3-2): The Vikings jumped into the thick of the OCIAA Division II race with a narrow victory over Washingtonville last week.

9. Monticello (4-1): Monticello looks to join a crowded field of Class A contenders, but can it keep it up after a hot start?
